    I like using white vinegar as an overall natural cleaner around the apartment. I use it on the coffee maker, countertops, and floors.

    Lifestyle Ditch Dryer Sheets
    Often, single-use and disposable products don't just create more trash - they also contain toxins that are bad for humans. What are some other single-use items that are harmful to humans?

    We finally finished our box of dryer sheets and so I've moved on to wool dryer balls. They reduce waste and are a natural way to dry loads.

    We enjoy eating fruit after a meal. We like to visit farmers' markets and buy whatever is in season. Right now, we've been enjoying stone fruits like peaches and cherries.

    I've loved using my glass bento containers lately for lunches! I can pack different goodies like salads and sandwiches in the same box.
